The beef slices are tender, along with the truffle fragrant, well cooked pearl rice grains, umami foie gras, binding everything together with the creamy egg yolk, every bite is almost perfect. I wish the sauce will be more flavourful than just the saltiness of its soy base, but do not get me wrong, this is still one of the better dons i have ever had so far!
The pork belly is full of meaty flavour, soft but also has a bite to it. When you have it with rice and the runny yolk, the bite has so much richness of flavour to it. Two down sides: 1, the raw vegetables in the bowl tasted bitter, 2 , the colour of the braised pork belly lacks vibrancy which made it look less appetising than it is. Other than that, not a bad bowl of braised pork belly rice bowl at all! Try it yourself !
I got the steamed chicken and it is very tender! the chicken breast meat is not too tough at all and accompanied by the soy sauce and not forgetting the fragrant fried garlic, every bite of chicken packs a punch! Their soup are well cooked tonic soup and best of all its free(similar to the Katong Shopping Centre’s chicken rice). The only downside is that i wish the rice is not fragrant and salty enough for my liking, still decent though. Go try it!!
My to-go dish for a healthy meal. The touch of freshness from the vegetables and sweetness from the sweet onion sauce go well together. With the savoury taste from the cheese and roasted chicken, this provides the dish the meaty craving you will desire when eating salads!
The battered fish is freshly fried, crispy on the outside and moist and flaky fish meat in the inside. However the pasta lacks a bit flavour, perhaps there can be more garlic put into making it. Overall, the ingredients tasted quite fresh and i am satisfied with the price point of 9.80 SGD, good value for money consider there are 3 battered fish served. Go try it!
This bowl of udon soup is my favourite. Broth has a good level of soy saltiness flavour and the udon is bouncy and Q! I love it that much more because you can pair every bite with their free flow side dishes like seaweed, radish, chilli padi, and fried batter flakes. It may not look filling, but if u enjoy the sides as much as i do, this will most definitely fill you up. Go give it a try guys its worth a taste!
I love this peanut pancake ! The pancake itself is very soft, fluffy and mild tasting, isn’t heavy at all. With the peanuts and sugar filling, it comes together brilliantly, overall not too sweet and very satisfying! I always thought something like this will be very dense and sweet but this changes my perspective. Got to try!
If you have the urge to have something deep fried, other than fast food fried chicken, you can consider a bowl of tempura and rice bowl from Tendon Kohaku @ Chinatown point. In my perspective, Japanese have a very good knowledge of a good bite. In a good bite, there must be a blend of distinctive tastes and textures however all of them must go well together. Tendon Kohaku does a great job with their rice bowls! Every bite of their tendon contains: crunch of the tempura batter, softness in the battered ingredient, well cooked sushi rice, saltiness of the soya miso sauce, spice from the chilli flakes, sour and sweetness from the pickled yuzu ginger. Altogether in a single bite will make you beg for more, and it wont get boring because every tempura is a different ingredient, prawn, chicken, bamboo shoot, baby corn, etc. So you can be sure every bite will be a surprise(not 100% sure what is under the batter when you go for the next tempura). Go on down and try it yourself!
If you only had the peppery bak kut teh throughout your entire life, i think you are missing out. Right beside Johor Bahru’s KSL Mall, you can find a herbal bak kut teh store. Unlike the peppery versions of bak kut teh, this is much more savoury without the overpowering punch of pepper spices. Instead, this bowl of soup has a deep deep herbal-ish and pork bone taste. Every mouthful packs with flavour and deep pork bone soup fragrant that you will beg for more. Furthermore, the ingredients that come the soup is customisable (you can pick which ingredients you would like to be included into the soup), and very very fresh, the pig innards and meat are very well cleaned (no gamey-ness). To me, this is a fair alternative to the peppery bak kut teh that i absolutely love and still do, its definitely worth the try!
One of the best bowls of noodle soup i have had. The broth is thick, herbal-ish and very aromatic. If you have the chance, go on down and try it yourself. The pig organs are cooked just right, not too tough and the lean meat tasted clean and smooth. I like how they chooses to use meesua(wheat noodles) for the soup, it is a type of salted noodle and compliments the aromatic broth well. Try it soon!
The quality of this soya chicken is slightly below average. In a plate of soya chicken, we expect the meat to be moist, succulent, and the skin to provide a salty but very much fragrant taste to the otherwise plain tasting white meat. The white meat on this chicken is a little too dry for my liking though, and does not soak up the gravy well enough due to its toughness. The chicken skin tasted average; it has a good soya sauce taste but not powering enough to shine through the dish. Overall, this standard is well below average. My search for a delicious plate of soya sauce chicken continues...
The Dry Chilli Pan Mee here is awesome! Meaty savoury from the minced pork sauce, fried shallot pieces and anchovies make this bowl of noodle stand out when mixed together. The noodle is well cooked with a tougher texture which holds the ingredients well. The chilli is the key, with your choice of adding any amount, it gives the bowl a necessary kick from its meaty and savoury flavour. A good bowl of noodles! And with the soft boiled eggs on top, this can be to die for!
